Chapter 6: Diamond Desire.

"Oh my god! Did you see that, Saehara-kun?!", Risa squealed in excitement the minute her deep brown delicate orbs caught the sight of the famous Love Ring which was displayed not too far from where she was standing at the moment. Her excited eyes glittered beneath the dim moonlight as she studied the marvelous jewel in the center lined with precious gold though she'd never came across such brandishing beauty in her entire life, unlike the countless pieces of jewelry she had stored in her room which were completely nothing compared to the item before her. The young lady attempted a light tug on her date's sleeve to attract his attention.

"Oh yeah! I see it! A brand new voice recorder!", Takeshi exclaimed, but he was totally out of the question as his own attention was shifted towards a nearby stall which was almost full of electronic merchandises, majority a part played by cameras and recorders. Risa narrowed her eyes in irritation seeing how 'romantic' her pathetic excuse for a date was.

"You jerk! I was talking about the 'Love Ring'! You're not even concentrating on the beautiful jewel!", the brown-haired girl scolded her classmate in the most annoying way possible to release her stress. Takeshi squirmed a little from the outcome, but he lowered his head in apology for it was his fault after all for being so unprepared in the first place. He was totally distracted the minute they stepped into the Love Funfair despite the fact that the hustle and bustle among the very few guards about the legendary thief really brought Takeshi's instincts alert. He wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn't as hopeless under Dark's games, but at the same time, he wanted to show Risa how much he cared for her.

It was never easy doing two things at one go.

"I know, Risa...But, tonight is the big night! I've gotta be prepared for it before anything else in the world!", the raven-haired boy tried to explain as he put on a nervous expression, facing his date in hopes that she wouldn't bring up the subject too loud in public, but his hopes were shoved aside and his prayers were denied.

"What's more important than any of your excuses?!", Risa yelled back in rage. Only a few people took notice of their quarrel nearby, thus the rest just completely ignore such atrocity. The younger one of the Harada twins was in fact known for her arrogant attitude at times, but Takeshi knew better than to look for such personalities from a girl.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Dark Mousy's appearing tonight.", Takeshi reminded Risa in a matter-of-factly tone. He'd totally forgot about the girl's extreme fond of the legendary thief and the a sudden feeling of regret rise up within him for mentioning the violet-eyed thief's name without consciousness.

"Dark-san?! He's showing up?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?!", beaming up with excitement, she scurried off towards the nearest ladies' restroom without further delay to shape up before the mentioned event which was about to take place in hopes of seeing Dark Mousy in action. Takeshi remained in his position, staring back at the girl who was now a few meters away, wondering to himself whether he should either wait for her to return or walk around the area to amuse himself.

And without any second thoughts, the raven-haired teenager dashed off towards the nearest stall which was having heavenly discounts on brand new tape recorders.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sneaking into this place wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.", Riku thought to herself with a sheepishly smile played upon her tender lips as she made her way along the busy area of the Love Funfair, having gleaming wide brown eyes glancing all around her in excitement. It wasn't her idea of fun, but it has been quite a while since she'd last visited a big funfair. The last time she recalled attending such places was when she and Risa were mere innocent five-year-olds. It was certainly memorable to the brunette, but she remembered to keep an eye on the road as well, so that she wouldn't bump into anyone clumsily.

"You're sick, Riku! Stay in bed!"

Risa's spoiled voice came ringing in her mind like a flash of lightning, followed by Riku's grumble. She'd knew for the fact that the fever she had at the moment was pulling her from attending the funfair's opening that particular night, but it was just a slight 40 degrees and Riku swore that she'd gotten worse than that before. Nothing would stop her from achieving what she wants for the elder one of the Harada twins was more daring and well, maybe a little stubborn than her other sister.

"Just because you're not doesn't mean you get to order me like a baby."

"The funfair Saehara-kun's taking me will be on a full house tonight! It'll make your headache get worse! Besides, it'll be too late for you to get a date."

"...Yeah, whatever. Go on ahead without me. Oh, Risa?"

"Yes, Riku?"

"...Is Niwa-kun going with anyone?"

"Not that I can recall. No, I guess. Well, I'd best be going now!"

"Well, have a wonderful erm...Date...And get me a souvenir!"

"Sure thing!"

Those were the last things she could remember before Risa left with a proud Takeshi which only left Riku sniggering to herself while observing them leave hand-in-hand from her bedroom window. The same reaction Daisuke did the minute he found out as well himself earlier. The brunette blushed slightly to herself at the thought of Daisuke's image appeared ever so suddenly in her mind that she scolded herself for thinking about the redhead at this moment and she continued to explore the area, admiring a few cotton candies and lollipops of all sorts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Come one, come all! Win your precious one a soft toy! Simple rules for a simple game!", one of the people navigating the game stalls announced loudly from the top of his voice to get the crowd's attention. A few couples stopped by and decided to check out the situation; girls swooning on how cute the prizes were and literally pleading their partners to win one for them. Somewhere in the bliss of the rowdy crowd were Satoshi who was trying to make his way out while still holding onto Daisuke's hand since they entered. The redhead could only put on a nervous smile as they passed by every single stall without even stopping to check it out as an apology.

"I see that you're not interested in these kinda stuffs, Hiwatari-kun...", Daisuke commented as he peered up at the blue-haired boy in front of him who didn't even stop to turn and look at him in return. Satoshi had to face the fact that people all around him gets on his nerves and being in the middle of a crowd isn't his idea of a peaceful moment.

"I don't sacrifice my dignity into getting cheap stuffs.", Satoshi replied as he continued to make his way through without hesitation. Daisuke shrugged and kept his pace behind his classmate for two simple reasons; he wouldn't want to get lost and knowing the outfit he was wearing, it wasn't easy to walk around too much.

"Aa...Demo--"

"You there! Young lad! Care to give it a try? Show us whatcha got!", the exact same voice thundered throughout the certain area close by, interrupting the redhead's speech and a few people surrounding Satoshi and Daisuke were looking at them as if they were convicted a crime. Out of reach whispers filled the entire crowd and Satoshi knew very well what was happening, unlike Daisuke who had the guts to shift his attention towards the person who said it a moment ago. The man with a broad smile waved towards them and offered a game, using a hint of tease as a challenge.

"...You're ignoring him...", ruby red eyes glanced back towards Satoshi who still had his back facing Daisuke and tried his best to ignore the situation that was literally starting to bug him.

"What do you think I'm doing? Dancing around with glee?", the blue-haired boy chided in a sarcastic tone as he pushed through a few taller people to get out of the place as fast as he could, hoping to get as far away as possible; the earlier, the better. If there was one thing he despised from the looks of it, it would be annoying troublemakers.

"Everyone's looking, Hiwatari-kun...Why don't you just go?", Daisuke suggested as he paused in his footsteps and tugged his classmate back a little to prevent him from going any further. Serious red ruby eyes stared hard at the person who took a light glance at him in return and tried to explain the situation they were in.

"Look, Niwa. I don't have time for--"

"What's the problem, lad? You ain't got the guts?", the man bellowed once again with a teasing hint attached to his speech and a sly grin plastered upon his face. Indeed, he was addressing straight towards Satoshi who finally turned around to eye him face to face despite the fact that no one had ever challenged him in that sort of tone, except for Dark Mousy.

// You seem angry at that remark, Satoshi-sama. //

/ Keep your thoughts to yourself. /

// It's impossible to do so. You are after all, me. //

/ I am not you. Do not compare myself to your filthy existence. I do not need you. /

// Such harsh words, Satoshi-sama. You've hurt me deeply, yes indeed. //

/ Like shit I care. /

// Let's see how long can you withstand. //

/ ... /

"Hiwatari-kun?", Daisuke managed a slight gulp as the blue-haired boy suddenly let go of his hand and stepped up towards the game stall mentioned in one quick motion. The redhead was speechless for he had never seen Satoshi controlling his divine anger before and the way he acted in a challenge. Now, he was aware on how Satoshi behaved every time he had to face Dark.

"That's it. Two bucks, pal.", Satoshi accepted the offer as he placed the mentioned amount of money onto the counter with a slight evil glint in his eye which could only be noticed by the man before him. He raised an eyebrow at the fourteen-year-old and gave him a few darts, explaining on how the game were to be played. Satoshi took his position in a casual manner and eyed the dartboard without any emotions at all, raising the dart in front of him.

"Aa...Hi--Hiwatari-kun?", the redhead a few paces behind him was starting to feel uneasy on the outcome. He could even feel With moving inside the small backpack he carried and for an odd reason, his heartbeat thumped faster indicating his worry towards the blue-haired boy which had never been the perfect issue before. Dark was indeed still in contact and he wouldn't miss this opportunity for the better himself.

\\ Ooo...Creepy bastard's mad... \\

\ Dark, if he misses, he's gonna be humiliated! And I don't want that to happen to-- \

\\ Knock 'em dead! \\

\ Dark... \

As concerned ruby red orbs concentrated back to the blue-haired boy, he noticed that other people around them were also staring at him, but in awe. Daisuke blinked and it took him quite a while to get the picture of what just happened; Satoshi had obtained victory.

As they say, revenge is sweet.

"You were saying?", cold icy blue eyes glared at the owner of the game stall and a slight intention within Satoshi was feeling honored at himself for winning a game of dignity and pride. In an arrogant and casual manner, the blue-haired teenager deliberately dusted both of his hands silently as the man looked upon his achievement with a stunned expression.

"Oh, no no no! Not a problem at all! Here's your prize and have a nice date!", he immediately replaced his look with a nervous laugh in admitting his lost. The man shoved a little soft toy cat towards Satoshi and without the slightest delay, the blue-haired teenager trotted back towards Daisuke who was still having a stunned look across his innocent face as well.

\ He won... \

\\ Uhuh... \\

\ He...Won... \

\\ Mmhmm... \\

\ He actually won? \

\\ Daisuke... \\

\ What? \

\\ I heard you, okay? Quit it. \\

\ Aa...Gomen... \

"Aa...Omedeto...", the red-haired teenager congratulated his classmate who was now within a few paces away in front of him who paused to take a short glance at Daisuke and then towards the soft toy cat in his hands. It didn't take quite long for Satoshi to shove the soft cat into the redhead's arms, yet with extra care at the same time.

"Ee? For...Me...?", Daisuke blinked in surprise as his ruby red eyes studied the soft toy cat, coated with a soft tender light blue fabric in his supporting arms before he peered up at his classmate to expect an answer from him on his behaviour. Satoshi was seen glancing away from Daisuke to hide the slight blush that crept silently across his handsome face.

"I've got nothing to do with it, anyway.", the blue-haired teenager replied in his usual tone.

"Sou ka na...Arigatou, Hiwatari-kun!", the redhead smiled ever so brightly for he'd never thought that he'd actually lived to witness the day whereby the cold-hearted boy would have the heart of a caring person deep within him, buried underneath a soulless and cold expression.

But, little did he know that Satoshi had the heart for him.

"...Aa...", Satoshi was out-numbered. He knew that he couldn't hide the existing fact that fire never fails to melt the ice and in this case, it was Daisuke himself. For all the things he went through ever since he was born into the world, the blue-haired teenager had never opened up to anyone else, even to himself. He remained reserved, silent and still; the heart of ice.

\\ Hey...If I were the one giving you a teddy, would you shower me with love instead? \\

Dark's remark startled Daisuke a little for the violet-eyed thief had never asked him such a question, but the redhead smiled mentally on the outcome, feeling a slight bit tad aura of jealousy coming from a certain alter ego.

\ That's a weird question coming from you, but of course I will, Dark. \

"Nee...Hiwatari-kun?", Daisuke asked as he gazed at the blue-haired teenager who proceeded to grasp the smaller boy's free hand in a gentle manner and pulling him along behind as he continued to walk along the busy path.

"Nn?", Satoshi muttered as he glanced back at the sweet-looking boy behind him, his sky blue hair tousled gently with the swaying breeze and he could see Daisuke's ruby red orbs glittered underneath the bright moonlight above them, the redhead's innocent face decorated with glee and an adorable smile played upon his lips. For some odd reason, Daisuke sure knew how to melt his heart in the most unpredictable way.

"This kitten looks a lot like you!", the red-haired teenager remarked as he held up the little soft cat in front of him which did definitely had a similar resemblance to the blue-haired teenager. The soft light blue colour reflected a sign of calmness, but with a dash of love written from within which only could be understood if one pondered on its hidden meaning. Satoshi had no other comment, but his sincere smile was enough to be referred to as a response.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

\\ May I remind you, Daisuke...It's nearly time... \\

\ I'm on it. \

"Niwa, I've got to be on duty in a few minutes. You won't mind, do you?", Satoshi asked all of a sudden as his ocean blue eyes caught sight of the time on his wrist watch. It wasn't certain, but it's best be ready before the actual time comes up, especially when you have police guards like Takeshi's father. Daisuke nodded slight in return for he had to be going as well. Dark's dramatic entrance is yet to be revealed and the violet-eyed thief would throw a fit if his host were to transform when he was still in that drag. With nudged a little in the backpack in hopes that it would be of good use later on as well to keep Daisuke's real identity a hidden secret.

"I won't mind. Besides, it's getting kinda late and I promised okaa-san that I'll return early.", Daisuke replied with a light smile as he took a step back, his fake brown hair danced according to the cold night air. Suddenly, he felt a silent fear crept up his spine and the source was Satoshi. What if Satoshi were to plan something that night? Would he catch him after what he did earlier? It would be suspicious to leave the area just like that, so he'd thought of letting With replace him while the chaos stood. Luckily he decided to bring his little white pet along.

"Jya naa, Hiwatari-kun! Arigatou!", was all the redhead said before he left in a different direction. The blue-haired teenager stood there in silence, observing him until he was out of sight, his slim figure blended within the crowds.

The blue-haired boy took that as the first process before the big reunion began. He corrected his glasses which glinted a little from the moonlight's ray and proceeded his course towards the auditorium where the enchanted Love Ring lay, a mysterious gem glimmered virgin from the public's touch and silently hides itself within a hidden legend.

And that legend was about to be revealed that very night.

"It's time."
